Where is "old" Zealand?

    Nevermind:

    The name New Zealand originated with Dutch cartographers, who called the islands Nova Zeelandia, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicised the name to New Zealand.

    Funnily enough, My wifes parents are from 'old' Zeeland.

    Thus my two sons are half new, half old zealanders.
